Line 84:
=== Get a ×255 item stack ===
[[File:Oldman1.png|thumb|Step 2: Just in case you don't remember, this NPC is [[Old man glitch|''the'' old man]].]]
[[File:Missing_image.jpg|thumb|Step 5: PP Up ×129 and PP Up ×255 should look like these respectively. (TODO: Add screenshot)]]
The goal of this step is to get a stack of any item ×255 in the bag. Since the normal limit for an item stack is ×99, this goal will require a glitch. Namely, we will duplicate the 6th item in the bag by encountering either [[MissingNo.]] or [['M (00)]] through the [[old man glitch]].
# '''Have any tossable item ×1'''<ref group="note">Technically, it does not ''need'' to be ×1 right now; you only need to toss down to 127 after you have duplicated it once (increasing its quantity by 128). However, tossing down to 1 now will make later steps easier, in terms of having less math to worry about.</ref> (you can toss or use any extras) '''as the 6th item in the bag.'''
#* A good candidate is
# '''Go to Viridian City, and talk to the old man who shows you how to catch Pokémon. Watch his catch demonstration''' (by saying "No" when he asks if you are in a hurry).
▲#* A good candidate is a PP Up, which (as mentioned above) is a rare item that you will need to use on the Tentacool for the party setup.
▲# '''Go to Viridian City, and talk to the old man who shows you how to catch Pokémon. Watch his catch demonstration''' (by saying "No" when he asks if you are in a hurry).<br />[[File:Oldman1.png]]
# '''Immediately Fly to Fuchsia City<ref group="note">The more well-known location to perform the old man glitch is the eastern coast of Cinnabar Island, but it actually works with any "eastern shore tiles" that can be reached from a Fly destination without going through an area with grass encounters. This guide will use the shore tiles on the east side of the Seafoam Islands because they are closer to a location that can help us get 8F easily later.</ref>''' (without otherwise leaving Viridian City).
# '''From Fuchsia City, Surf down and then left to reach this location:'''<br />[[File:Missing_image.jpg]] (TODO: Add screenshot)
Line 95 ⟶ 96:
# '''Surf along the shore for wild encounters. We are looking for the glitch Pokémon [[MissingNo.]] or [['M (00)]]<ref group="note">As mentioned on the [[old man glitch]] page, the possible encounters depend on the player's name, but at least one of the glitch Pokémon we are looking for should always be available.</ref>, which looks like one of these:'''<br />[[File:MissingNo._RB_SGB.png]][[File:Kabutops_fossil.png]][[File:Aerodactyl_fossil.png]][[File:Pokémon_Tower_ghost.png]]
#* If you encounter a normal Pokémon instead, just keep looking. If you encounter a Trainer or another glitch Pokémon (although the latter should be impossible on English games), immediately reset for safety.
#* To ensure that the glitch has worked, check the quantity of the 6th item in the bag
# You can now escape from the battle<ref group="note">If your 6th item was one that could be used in battle (e.g. a Potion), you can use two of them in battle instead, and then catch the MissingNo. or 'M, which will immediately duplicate your 6th item again, without needing a second encounter. However overall the added complexity is probably not worth it.</ref>, then '''toss or use two of your 6th item so that you have ×127'''. (
# Repeat step 5, i.e. '''Surf along the shore for another wild encounter with a MissingNo. or 'M'''.
#* If you have done everything correctly, '''the encounter should increase the quantity of the 6th item to 255''', which is the goal for this section. You can now escape from the battle and start the next section.
